Vivid natural colour film recipe using Astia simulation for rich color
Many Fujifilm film recipes have a soft tones or nostalgic look, but that doesn’t suit everyone, or all conditions. When you want something with a bit more impact or colour, something different is required.
My first choice for a more punchy look is the Astia simulation. In this recipe, I’ve taken the base sim and given a modest tweak to colour balance and a strong boost to saturation.
The result is a look where the quality of Astia really jumps out, hence the name Astia Pops. It’s a great choice for vibrant colours and images that come to life. Have fun!
